FOURTH ENTRAINED
FOR DEMING CAMPi
Companies That Have Been
Doing Guard Duty in Ne
braska Meet to Take
Trains South.
The entrapment of the Fourth Ne
braska, so long anticipated, which was
begun without warning Saturday
morning at 7:30, was completed in the
one day and by 10 o'clock at night
the last of the troops were on their
wav to Deming.
Their last day on Nebraska soil for
vears, it may be, was a busy one for
the boys, but passed off without a
hitch in the well-laid plans of the offi
cers. The summons came suddenly,
and with entire absence of confusion
the whole regiment, in all parts of the
state, began on the minute their
preparations.
Ready to Leave Fort.
Bv noon the first detachment was
ready to leave from Fort Crook. This
included the headquarters company,
the santitarv and supply divisions and
the band. These, with the officers,
were soon on the way. The machine
fun company at the post was sched
uled to join other companies at the
Burlington station down town.
At the same time Companies A, B
and C. which had been on guard duty
near Omaha so long, met at the Bur
lington station. Later in the day
these were joined by Companies E.
F, H. I. J and L, which were picked
tip and brought to Omaha as an assembling-
poiat. The . machine gun
company from Fort Crook also
joined thcin. -
several ot tue out-staie companies
arrived early in the afternoon. These
"gave one look at the crowded station
and at once marched out to the green
hill south of it, stacked arms and pre
pared for a long wait. Companies E,
I and L were soon comfortably sit
uated thus and whiled the afternoon
away talking or napping in the shade
as the sun sank behind the tall build

also to look for Coloml Hall, expect

Mrs. John Mahcr, wife of Major
Maher of the quartermaster's depot
of Omaha, was another . interested
looker-on. ,
Crowds thronged the station all
day. There were at least two sweet
hearts apiece, with a host of rela

several thousand women in addition
to1 the troops.

. The crowd was happy till the last,
when the tears fell fast. Some of
the soldiers broke, down as they
looked their last into blue or brown
eyes or kissed a sweet, wrinkled face
before they boarded the. train.
Many of the sweethearts were ob
livious to. their surroundings. More
than one couple sat in a ' secluded
corner ' of the station lost to the
world all afternoon. One lucky chap
had four pretty girls to kiss him
good-bye. Near him there stood
three bovs alone the only ones in
the whole station, it seemed, with
out girls. ,
"That isn't fair," they called over
1( the hickv one. and after a whis
pered consultation three of the girls
smiled an invitation which the young
men were not slow to accept. In no
timethcre were four happy couples
in that corner. - - .
A bent little woman and a kindly

talking to a tall young corporal, Near

FOREST FIRES NOW
BEYOND CONTROL
j Whole Villages Doomed Before
Mad Rush of Flames in Mon
tana; Fighters Are Ex
hausted. Missoula, Mont., Aug. 26.-Three
hundred men, isolated in the Bitter
root mountains yesterday when a
forest fire cut across their pack trail,
made their way out of the hills late
today, and tonight are preparing to
renew their attack on the blaze,
which now threatens Lolo Hot
Springs, Mont.
District United States Forester Rut
ledge said tonight he was sure no
lives were lost in the flight for safety.
The situation tonight is serious.
Missoula scarcely saw the sun today
and the streets tonight were pow
dered with ashes and blackened pine
needles. Fierce fires are burning to
the south, north and east and though
3,000 men are in the field, the forest
service has but slight hope of check-
a them without the aid. of rain. Gov
ernment timber stands of almost in-
stimable value already have been
destroyed, and only unusual good for
tune can keep the -tires within un
settled areas.
Worn out by two weeks of labor,
200 fire fighters were brought in from
Idaho, where they had subdued bad
res. to be sent out into the western
Montana woods.
Two serious fires on Gold creek,
two in the Flathead forest in uorth-

in Hands ot Military.
Maior General George Bell. jr,
who arrived this morning from San
Antonio and took command, indicated-
that there was slight possibility of
any of the men being returned here
for civil trial.
"I assume, he said, that the local
authOritics will seek to try the men
against whom charges have been
filed. However, tlicir disposition is in
the hands of the military. They will
be court-martialed. The justice meted

control of the live stock industry.
Mr. Hoovers address before the
126 representatives of farm journals
in twenty-four states, said to repre-
L,nt an approximate circulation of 12,-
000.000 readers, was a resume of con
ditions which jed to the appointment
of a food controller, together with
comments on the administration of
that office. He asserted at the outset
that the food problems of the present
would have occurred whether or not
the United States went into the war;
that they are based on the underly-
of economic currents aid disturbance
of economic forces."
Exports Must Increase.
The shortage in European produc
tion of foodstuffs caused by the diver

tive )abor t0 war and the depletion

tion the responsibility of increasing
its exports of both wheat and meat.

food and ultimately decrease our ex
port of bread and fodder grain," a
situation that will arise when it be
comes more logical for our allies to
kill and eat their animals and depend
upon us to replace their animal food,
than it is to import fodder in hope of
maintaining their animals."

A remedy for "these evils" must be

our people and maintain our efficiency
in the war."
Import Problems.
Shortages in overseas transporta

oroblems to the united States which
cause a diminution in the consumption
of certain products sugar and vege
table oils, for instance. Mr. Hoover
asserted vast quantities of certain
foods are now being stored in foreign
ports awaiting a return of peace.

' Shut Out Speculation.

to the establishing of a commission

Mr. Hoover urged "we should organ

Whirl.
(From a Staff Correipoiuleiii.)
Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 26. (Special.)
Nebraska soldiers, since they have
moved to the city Auditorium where
most of them are sleeping, are not as
anxious for the summons to come to
move as they were at the fair grounds.
Being in the heart of the city they
are more closely allied with the social
life and they are liking it. Many of
the best homes in the city have been
opened to them and hotel "grub" at
the Lindcll hotel where they line up
three times a day and march to the
big ball room which has been turned
into a mess room, appears to be at
tractive. However, just the same
when the call comes to entrain they
wfll be anxious to leave.
This week will be an active one in
the entertainment line.
Next Thursday has been made Mili
tary Day at the Lincoln ball park
where the Omaha and Lincoln clubs
will battle.
The soldiers, headed by the Fifth
and Sixth regiment bands, will march
to the park and the Fifth band, which
is made up mostly of Lincoln men,
will be seated back of the Lincoln
bench at one end of the stand while
the Sixth band, made tip mostly of
Omaha musicians, will be seated back
of the Omaha bench in the other end
of the stand.
Monday night the soldiers will put
on a vaudeville show at the Audi
torium and later in the week a mili
tary ball, all for the benefit of the
mess fund.
